A compilation of tracks from 1994's 'Change Of Heart' and 1995's 'Running On Empty' cassette albums with the 1997 Cross Rhythms fest line dancing anthem "Walk The Talk" thrown in for good measure. What makes country great, those clever lyric twists are much in evidence here ("Jesus said drink to remember, Satan says drink to forget") while Dave Anderson's pedal steel is excellent. Shame that some tracks have programmed drums but that's a minor quibble. The Kettering Cowboy has now moved a bit musically with his rock praise band The Blamed, but this engaging memento shows he's a good ol' boy at heart. Worth the price for "Walk The Talk" alone.
